Kansas is pretty much the same team as last season: highly variable in their performances (often within a game) due to not-especially-good guard play. That's been mitigated some this season because no one's operating under the delusion that Sherron Collins is really good. Then again, no one has replaced Cole Aldrich's defensive impact though the Morris twins and Thomas Robinson do a really good job on the defensive glass.

In short, they're clearly again one of the two-to-four best college teams in a season where "best" could also be defined as "least bad."
